Page 2 of Murder in the Family

After months in development, the seven-part series will follow the work of this team, as they re-examine original testimony, re-interview witnesses, and interrogate the 2003 evidence in the light of subsequent developments in forensic science. They will also interview family members who have never before spoken on camera about the events of that night.

Showrunner Head Of Factual, Garrett Holbeck, said, ‘We are all excited about the pace and tension this new format brings to the show, and my hope is that we will not only offer viewers a first-hand insight into this important case, but perhaps find some long-overdue closure for the family.’

The first episode of ‘Infamous: Who Killed Luke Ryder?’ is set to air on the twentieth anniversary of the murder, Tuesday, October 3 (9:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m. EST) on Showrunner. Subsequent episodes will appear in instalments.
